It syncs with Google Calendar and Toodledo (never tried this one) but does not use data from the internal iPhone Calenadr. However, syncing with Google Calendar was very simple to configure and perform.

One of the features that iPhone uses will probably appreciate is a great week view (see screenshot above) since the iPhone’s calendar only provides day and month views.
